Taccia Table Lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos 19

For sale: Taccia table lamp, designed by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the legendary Milanese brand Flos, original design from 1962. The Taccia is one of the most important and celebrated table lamps of the 20th century. Its optical principle is of absolute ingenuity: a single bulb, placed inside the transparent glass bowl, projects its light towards an adjustable black anodized aluminum parabolic reflector, which redirects it upwards and diffuses it into a soft, enveloping, and indirect light. The glass bowl protects the source while allowing a complete view of the internal mechanism, an aesthetic and technical gesture at once. Its ample and generous silhouette, its nickel-plated metal base with understated elegance, and its generous dimensions make it a piece that is both architectural and functional, equally at home in a living room or in a characterful professional space.
